Isabella voel nie soos die tradisionele beeldskone heldin wat jy op ’n silwerskerm gaan raaksien nie, want sy is ietwat sag om die kante en haar hare het ’n onbuigbare wil van hul eie. Sy besluit die tyd het aangebreek vir opwinding en avontuur, want sy wil nie meer stry teen die knaende begeerte in haar om skaamteloos aan die ontvangkant van ’n man se hartstogtelike liefde te wees nie.

Sy vlug uit die stad om van haar oorbeskermende ouers weg te kom en asem te skep in die oop ruimtes waar niemand vir haar voorskryf wat om te doen nie. Isabella soek ’n man wat haar voete onder haar gaan uitslaan en sy is vasbeslote om hom te kry. Iemand wat haar gaan liefhê vir wie sy in al haar volrondheid is. Tydens haar soektog ontmoet sy ’n hele paar mans wat nou nie almal eintlik as goeie mans met suiwer intensies beskou kan word nie. En wie is die geheimsinnige man wat oral onverwags opduik en pal op haar spoor bly?

Maar toe gebeur die ondenkbare tydens ’n gesinskrisis wat opduik. Al die geraamtes wat uit die kas begin tuimel dwing Isabella om tot stilstand te kom en die waarheid in die oë te staar. Sommige antwoorde kan ’n vrou net op haar knieë by die Here kry. Hulle sê die waarheid maak vry en die liefde bedek ’n menigte van sondes. Miskien sal die kronkelpaaie van Isabella se lewe haar ook na liefde en vryheid lei sodat selfs ’n verlore woestynblom soos sy kan blom.

When FBI profiler Kaely Quinn's mother is diagnosed with cancer, Kaely takes time off work to go to Dark Water, Nebraska, to help her brother care for their mother. Upon her arrival, she learns of a series of fires in the small town, attributed by the fire chief to misuse of space heaters in the frigid winter. But Kaely is skeptical, and a search for a pattern in the locations of the fires bolsters her suspicions.

After yet another blaze devastates a local family, Kaely is certain a serial arsonist is on the loose. Calling upon her partner from St. Louis, Noah Hunter, and her brother's firefighter neighbor who backs Kaely's suspicions, Kaely and her team begin an investigation that swiftly leads them down a twisted path.

When the truth is finally revealed, Kaely finds herself confronting a madman who is determined his last heinous act will be her death.

Sometimes the big and small decisions in life seem overwhelming. How do you know what choices to make about your career, kids, and relationships? Even when you make good decisions, how do you avoid temptation along the way?

• When you’re not feeling confident
• When your goals are not God’s
• When you’re in a hurry and God is not
• When you have financial struggles
• When you face difficult times

In What To Do When You Don’t Know What To Do, renowned Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah walks you through the book of James to glean God’s wisdom on issues such as finances, faith, and decision making. What does it look like to consider God in all of your plans, depend on God rather than wealth, and put prayer above your personal efforts?

We all long to know God’s personal will for our lives. While we know God’s general guidance for our lives, we also want to discover how God is specifically calling us.

Discovering God’s Will for Your Life finds its starting point in the astonishing good news that God calls each one by name. It explores how this personal calling relates both to what God wants us to do and who God wants us to become.

In this guide, seasoned author Trevor Hudson provides practical ways in which you can discern God’s personal will for your own journey through life. As you practice these “discernment exercises”, your relationship with God will become a dynamic adventure of faith.

Reynardt Hugo speel Dr Tertius Jonker in Binnelanders en was van 2011 tot 2019 lid van die Afrikaanse popgroep ADAM. Tog, agter al sy sukses, sangtoere, toekennings en die vele lofbetuigings is daar ’n diep gewonde en verlore siel. Nes duisende ander mans, het Reynardt jare lank gestoei om sy verwondheid met drank, dagga, vroue en pornografie te verdoesel. Sy oorlog was ’n soeke na betekenis en aanvaarding.

Soldaat vertel van ’n klein seuntjie en die verwarrende wêreld waarin hy grootgeword het. Hy praat eerlik en opreg oor die impak wat sy ouers se egskeiding op hom gehad het, en die invloed van drankmisbruik in hulle huis, en hoe hy dit alles as jong seun ervaar het en daarvan moes sin maak. Hy praat openlik oor sy swakheid vir vroue en die gevolge van sy dade.

Vandag is Reynardt Hugo ’n suksesvolle jong man wat ’n groot impak maak. Die pad was lank en rof en hy moes vele uitdagings oorkom, maar vandag is sy lewe ’n ware getuienis van wat God kan doen met iemand wat op moedverloor se vlakte sit, en hoe God ’n storie van verwoesting in ’n storie van hoop kan verander.

Reynardt se verhaal is boeiend. Dit bevat al die elemente van tragedie, intrige, neerlaag en oorwinning, maar ook die heel belangrikste bestanddeel: die krag van die evangelie van Jesus Christus.

How to make home your family’s favorite place to be . . . all year long.

Gebed vir elke geleentheid bevat 100 gebede vir elke geleentheid om gelowiges se gebedslewe te versterk en aan te vul.

Somtyds wil ons graag ons harte na God wend maar ons kan nie die regte woorde vind om ons gevoelens aan die Here oor te dra nie. In hierdie boek het Hennie Maartens 100 hartsgebede saamgevoeg in ’n unieke bundel waarin die Here se kinders riglyne vir gebed kan vind om na die hemelse Vader uit te reik te midde van elke seisoen, situasie, lewensgebeurtenis of beproewing.

Hierdie is nie net die perfekte boek om ’n persoonlike gebedslewe te verryk nie, maar ook die ideale boek vir mense wat vir groepe moet bid, soos onderwysers, skoolhoofde, predikers, ouderlinge, selgroep-leiers en jeugleiers.

Esther Wolmarans, die liefde van Andreas se lewe, is ’n deernisvolle, diensvaardige, sagmoedige meisie wat deur omstandighede gedwing word om die rol van versorger en huishoudster te speel. Volgens ou standaarde is sy ’n oujongnooi in wording.

Estie, soos Andreas haar noem, is een van die min mense wat die hart en rede van haar verbitterde vader, Jacob Wolmarans, ken. Sy is die lig in sy lewe. Andreas voel met die eerste aanblik aangetrokke tot haar maar die paartjie moet haar pa se toestemming met moeite verkry om uiteindelik te trou. Sal Estie ná baie trane en groot opofferings haar plek as predikantsvrou kan vind in die gemeente waar die Wolmarans-gesin dikwels die middelpunt van die dorp se skinderstories is?

Andreas worstel ook met ’n ander probleem. Hy sien diskriminasie raak en kritiseer die apartheid wat in die kerk toegepas word, en dit word ook onder die vaandel van die liefde van God in die verhaal uitgebeeld.

In Die grootste hiervan is die liefde ervaar ons God se liefde wat vergestalting vind in Andreas en Estie se huwelik en hul bediening as predikantspaar. Hierdie deernisvolle verhaal fokus op die spesiale liefde tussen man en vrou, tussen Christene onder mekaar en hul naastes.

The beloved daughter of Jewish captives in Babylon, Keren is sold into Daniel’s household to help her family survive. She becomes Daniel’s most trusted scribe, while taking lessons and swordsmanship training alongside Daniel’s sons and their best friend, Jared.

But after a tragic accident changes the course of her life, Keren finds herself in a foreign country, charged with a mysterious task: teaching a shepherd boy how to become a lord. When she overhears whispers that hint at his true identity, she realizes she must protect him from the schemes of a bloodthirsty king.

Jared cannot forgive Keren. Still, he finds himself traveling over mountains to fetch her back to the safety of home. When he discovers the secret identity of Keren’s pupil, Jared knows he must help protect him. Love battles bitterness as they flee from the king’s agents, trying to save the boy who could one day deliver their people from captivity.

Most of us have felt it: that unexplained prompting in our hearts to stop and pray for a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger. Sometimes we dismiss the feeling as a stray thought about friends, families, or situations. Sometimes we are even awakened from a deep sleep with an even deeper need to go to God in prayer.

Where do those urges come from? Are they truly from God? And do those prayers have any effect on the one we're praying for?

In Called To Pray, Linda Evans Shepherd shares dozens of inspiring true stories of people who have felt God's call to pray - and the astonishing results of those impromptu prayers. For those who wonder if prayer has any effect or doubt that God communicates with us personally, this heart-stirring book will amaze, inspire, and equip them to respond to those holy promptings.

Could YOU be the answer to the very problems you see?

You can do it. Now it's time to just stand up and say you will!

With the demands and distractions of life, it doesn’t take long for worry and doubt to threaten your peace, overwhelm your mind, and steal your joy. The God of the universe hears your needs and longs for a personal relationship with you. All you have to do is listen and pray.

Prayers to Strengthen Your Soul will refresh and guide your prayer life with daily Scripture-based prayers and thought-provoking questions to help you.

"Hoe hou ek vas aan God terwyl my ervaringe nie hoop weerspieël nie? Ivor Swartz lei ons om aan die hand van die Habakuk 3:17 te vra hoe lyk 'n nogtans-geloof gebedslewe, hoe praat en leef ek voor ander met my nogtans-geloof en hoe bly ek geanker in God, eerder as die uitkoms? 

Ivor leer ons om 'n nogtans-geloofuitkyk toe te pas, deur te kies: kies om te lewe vir wat ewigheidswaarde dra, om ons perspektief te verander na nogtans-geloof in tyd van krisis en om te reageer op ’n nogtans-manier."

Mo & Phindi Grootboom believe that God created marriage primarily for the purposes of restoring the totality of the His image in the human race, as well as reflecting His relationship with His bride, the church.

They share the 13 things they wished they knew before they got married:

1. Marriage is a divine mystery with a spiritual purpose, it is more than an emotional connection
2. Marriage today is different from marriage back then, but God’s original design and purpose for marriage does not change
3. Achieving oneness in marriage is 100% possible, prioritise and relentlessly pursue your spouse in total transparency
4. Being “in love” is not enough to marry someone. You won’t feel “in love” every day
5. The worst and unexpected does happen in marriage. It’s important to understand what you mean when you vow to love someone “for better or worse”
6. Never sweat the small stuff, not every conflict in marriage is worth resolving
7. Unbroken soul ties will ruin marriages, you cannot be fully joined to your spouse while you’re still emotionally entangled to unhealthy previous attachments
8. Forgiveness is a lifestyle, when you run out of forgiveness in your marriage you run out of relationship and you run out of you
9. Marriage isn’t primarily designed to make you happy, when you expect that your spouse makes you happy, not only are you placing an unfair expectation on them, but you’re also making them an idol
10. Great sex is neither constant nor automatic, it is cultivated
11. It’s possible to lose yourself in marriage, and it is quickest and most painful way to kill your marriage
12. We marry the in-laws and the rest of the family too
13. Being on the same page financially can save your marriage, it’s about being joint-stewards over resources trusted to us irrespective of the type of our marriage contract

This practical book can possibly help to save your marriage.

Many of us yearn for “success” – a longing driven by a materialistic and comparison-rife world. How to be (un)successful: An Unlikely Guide to Human Flourishing offers the perfect antidote to the world’s skewed view of success by asking you to have an in-depth look at how you live.

It challenges you to relook at your longings and dreams, choose God’s plan for you instead of your own good ideas, vote for relationships over relevance and focus on depth over meaningless noise. You are invited to find inspiration in Jesus’ life and teachings.

He is calling you to experience the success that can truly satisfy your soul. Choosing to truly follow Jesus might just be the most (un)successful thing you have ever done in your life.
